Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to expose some recents attempts pertaining to the formalization of saint Thomas of Aquinas’s metaphysics of participation. Firstly, certain frequent objections related to the use of logic formalization in Philosophy are refuted, as if this supposed a collapse in the univocity of being or in a rationalist type approach. Next, the use of certain modal logic systems in the formalization of the metaphysics of participation of the Aquinian will be briefly explained. Finally, the present author applies the same tools in the formalization of certain transcendentals of the being.
Key words:
formalization, modal logic, analogy, Kripke diagrams, participation.
